This is ample proof that the Whiteman and the Arab man did a freakin fvcken good job on the mind of the African. Fighting over ink printed on paper? These religious fanatics and extremists and bigots must not be entertained anywhere near power. Succumb to their foolishness and next time they'll tell you that sharia must be practiced in Ghana.

Clap for your ignorance, that you don't even understand what Sharia means. I know what comes to your mind when you mention Sharia, ie, death penalty. That is just 1 legislation in law and it's in almost all countries including yours?

What you don't know is that Sharia=Law
Muslims marry according to Sharia, eat according to Sharia, drink, walk, talk, sleep etc according to Sharia. Muslims daily life is guided by Sharia but because of your ignorance, you think Sharia is a strange thing to import and practice.

Ignorance is indeed a disgrace

Chinese learn in Chinese, Japanese learn in their language. Arabs learn in Arabic.

For God's sake you'll call someone uneducated if they don't learn in English.

Do a little research then we come back to discuss this.

@scratch you are not a Christian. Muslims do this all the time. They lie that they are Christians to make a point but we as Christians know if a Muslim is doing taqqiya.

Christianity and Islam are two different and in many case opposing religions.

Me as a Christian don't care about the handling of the Bible. This is because from my Sunday school days, i was taught that when is in me is greater than what is outside. That i will have to be Christ like and love my neighbour even if that neighbour has wronged me. We were taught to UNDERSTAND the content and context of the bible. We are not allowed to only recite words in the Bible but to understand it.

Islam on the other hand is a performative and political religion in nature. Please go read on how Mohammed started the religion and how he instructed Muslims to follow the religion.

I remember sometime ago, a Muslim colleague got to know that i was fasting. Her asked if i am a Muslim and as he got to know that i was not one, he asked if Christians also fast. I knew what he was doing there. I asked him that Jesus fasted and that Christians fasted long before Islam was formed. He tried to take offence because he knew exactly where that conversation was going in particular as i said fasting is something between you and your God.

With this simple conversation, his performative and politically driven Islamic mindset came up. You ask a Muslim critical things about the Quran and they will tell you that they are not a scholar.

Mind you. My mentor from the first job i did in London is a Muslim and we are still very close friend.

The problem is that Christians take the Christlike nature to extreme levels.

Politicians will do anything for votes, without considering its long term effects. Where will this demand for religious exclusion/inclusion end? Next time a Muslim will say "I'll have to recite the shahada, and face Mecca before giving my oath". Does holding of any of these books even guarantee honesty among witnesses? Why don't we just remove both books and take a firm stance before exclusive demands of religions disrupt our system?

That's indeed a sign of truthfulness and prophethood. He didn't praise himself or made the Qur'an about himself. The He's only a continuation of monotheism calling only to the worship of on God. The Qur'an mentioned, Adam, Noah, Jacob, David, Solomon, Joseph, Joshua, Moses, Mary, John the Baptist and most prophets. Unlike you trying to insult.

Qur'an 2: 285 says we don't discriminate among the prophets.
Qur'an 6:108 prohibits us from insulting other Deities or other people's God(s)

So Muslims will not walk down the path of hate and insults that you do to the prophet Muhammed. People who reason will understand who is better in virtue

It was unfortunate for the Muslim lady to describe the Bible as other document while in the same instance trying to protect the sanctity of the Quran. Let's be careful how we discuss religious beliefs in public debate. If her argument is to stand then it will not only be in Parliament but at the court and other places and events where the Bible or the Quran is used. Let's not bring division. Next time she will demand that since in the mosque men and women don't sit together in Parliament too there should be separation then we move on and on
it will bring a sharp division in society. Let's respect each religion and not refer to the Bible or Quran as a document.

It is Qur'an that the mistress was concerned about. Instead of answering questions and leaving quietly for the next person to come.

Was she aware that the Qur'an being used is a public one and not her private Qur'an?
She should have been arrested and sent to court for such a behaviour.

The most annoying is calling the bible other books, what à check. Nonsense. This is one of the reason why if care is not taking it will be difficulté for à muslim to become président in this nation because other religieuse set are afriad that if à muslim become président, islam will be used to control the other religion in this country. I dont any sensé in the statement that woman made. She must go to IRAN to practice her islam there.

Only here blabbing about nothing. In the next PAC meeting, you'll see the Qur'an packed separately n there's nothing you can do.

The same foolishness you people exhibited in the Girls school fasting issue. The courts have proved your folly and shallow mindedness.

This is not about fanaticism. It's about a people worshipping their God their way and handling their book the way they deem fit.

Why should you have issue with she saying how the Qur'an should be handled.

When u even buy a gadget or anything, there's a manual about proper ways to handle it and you people adhere to the manual.

But you can't think through a simple request that the Qur'an be handled a certain way.

Foolishness is on the rise. People can't think through a simple issue.
